The Tuning Rounds — Daily puzzle for 2026-11-03

Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

Only a few pencilled notes are left to show which room, piano and fault went with Thomasina, Vivian, Winston and Agatha.

It was a quiet afternoon at the conservatoire, in the gap between lessons. Now and then a single chord rang out from behind a closed door as someone tried a piano. Four tuners came in that day: Thomasina, Vivian, Winston and Agatha. The practice rooms ran in a row down the long corridor, from the first room by the stairs to the last room at the far end. Each tuner went into one room. Each room held a different kind of piano, and each piano had a different thing wrong with it. All that is left of the day is a handful of pencilled notes in the appointment book. Can you piece their rounds back together?

Clues

1. Thomasina and Vivian took the first and second rooms between them.
2. Thomasina's room came before Vivian's along the corridor.
3. The lid fault was in the room right after the one with the pedal fault.
4. Only one of these is true: Thomasina tuned the upright piano, or Winston tuned the grand piano.
5. Winston fixed the pedal fault.
6. The grand piano was the one with the wire fault.
7. Agatha worked on the digital piano.
